make sure to water down your canvas before painting--this helps the background colors blend. water really helps when using acrylic paints.
--if you don't want to use a lot of white paint, water will help lighten it up.
--when doing detail, water down your brush
DON'T DRINK COFFEE before painting, it makes your hand wobble.

As a beginner, i would suggest studying up on underpainting. This is an important step often overlooked by many artist, especially those just starting out. On my art page at hellosanantonio.com i will sometime show a project in the underpainting stage and the finished project, but it is usually deleted after completion. My art page is found under the name Guerro. Take the time, do your homework and in the long run you will be glad you did. Have fun, experiment, and practice ,practice, practice.

I'm a painter myself, mostly using acrylic paints- here's some of the stuff i've learnt.
-mix a little dishwashing liquid in with your paint. it gives it a nice texture and takes away that plasticy look.
-sketch out your painting in watered down blue or yellow before you start to get a feel for composition.
-shade in blues or purples and highlight in yellows instead of just using black and white.
-when you're starting out, try to only use warm red, warm blue and warm yellow, and cool yellow, cool blue and cool red, without black and white. You can mix a colour that's fairly close to black with these colours, and that colour gives much more depth to a painting than just plain black from the tube.
-add your white to your painting last
-when you think it's good enough to be done, keep going.
